**Electrochemistry Problem: Calculating Cell Potentials and Gibbs Free Energy**

Calculate \( E^0 \), \( E \), and \( \Delta G \) for the following cell reaction:

\[
\text{Mg}(s) + \text{Sn}^{2+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons \text{Mg}^{2+}(aq) + \text{Sn}(s)
\]

where \([\text{Mg}^{2+}] = 0.040 \, \text{M}\) and \([\text{Sn}^{2+}] = 0.060 \, \text{M}\). Round each of your answers to 4 significant digits.

**Notes:**

- Reference the *Standard reduction potentials at 25 °C* table for additional information.

- The Faraday constant is \( 9.649 \times 10^4 \, \frac{J}{V \cdot \text{mol}} \).
